Key Points of Shyama Prasad Mukherji Rurban Mission
Rurban Clusters: Under the National Rurban Mission, there will be two types of clusters: non-tribal and tribal. Each of these categories has a different selection method.
- A major village or gram panchayat, which are growth hubs with resources nearby that might potentially lead those clusters to economic transformation, may be seen by the States while choosing the Rurban group. Census towns or block headquarters villages could potentially be considered as growth centres.
- Identifying physically adjacent villages or gram panchayats within a radius of 5 to 10 km, or based on the radius appropriate to the topography or population density of the area around the designated growth centre, would be used to create the Non-Tribal and Tribal clusters.
Funding: The mission is a government-sponsored initiative. The Mission has two funding streams:
- Convergence through different central sector schemes, centrally sponsored schemes, state sector/sponsored schemes/programs, and CSR monies.
- Critical Gap Funding (CGF) would be provided under this Mission for the mission-specific development of these clusters.
Role of states: The role of states is to identify clusters in accordance with the Framework for Implementation developed by the MoRD.
- The MoRD is using a scientific cluster selection method that includes an objective analysis of population, economics, tourist and pilgrimage significance, and transportation corridor impact at the district, sub-district, and village levels.
Shyama Prasad Mukherji Rurban Mission
The Shyama Prasad Mukherjee Rurban Mission (SPMRM) also named National Rurban Mission (NRuM) aims to promote infrastructure, social, and economic growth in rural areas by creating a collection of 300 Smart Villages across our nation and inclusivity without compromising services perceived to be largely urban in nature, resulting in a cluster of “Rurban Villages.” Prime Minister Narendra Modi launched the initiative on February 21, 2016, with the goal of delivering catalytic interventions to rural communities on the threshold of growth.
